In a world where data-driven decisions shape the future of nations, a bold new chapter is unfolding across South Asia. Suhora Technologies and Satellogic Inc. have announced an exclusive, multi-year partnership that will deliver unprecedented access to high-resolution Earth Observation (EO) services across India and Nepal. This seven-figure agreement isn’t just a commercial milestone—it’s a decisive catalyst for more innovative governance, resilient infrastructure, and sustainable growth across one of the most dynamic regions on Earth.
A Partnership Built for Scale, Speed & Impact
– Exclusive market rights: Suhora now holds exclusive rights to provide Satellogic’s EO data and services in India and Nepal, dramatically expanding access to sub-meter imagery.
– Strategic expansion: This builds on an already successful collaboration, reflecting confidence and a shared commitment to delivering world-class geospatial capabilities to a market hungry for high-frequency, actionable insights.
– End-to-end value: From Satellogic’s advanced, high-capacity satellite constellation to Suhora’s localized service delivery and analytics expertise, this partnership unlocks a complete stack—from pixels to decisions.
The timing could not be better. India’s rapid urbanization, climate vulnerability, infrastructure modernization, and evolving national security priorities necessitate significant advancements in geospatial intelligence. With this exclusive agreement, Suhora and Satellogic are answering that call with precision, affordability, and speed.
Why This Matters Now: The Power of High-Resolution, High-Frequency EO
Satellogic, a NASDAQ-listed pioneer in vertically integrated Earth Observation, has built a scalable, automated platform designed to remap the planet at high resolution and high cadence. Paired with Suhora’s domain expertise and robust analytics layer, the partnership promises:
– Sub-meter detail at scale: See more, measure more, and manage more—down to the level of assets, plots, structures, and networks.
– High capacity with low latency: Rapid revisit rates and fast tasking translate into timely insights at operational tempos that match real-world needs.
– Exceptional affordability: By vertically integrating operations and optimizing data delivery, the partnership lowers barriers to access, democratizing high-quality geospatial intelligence.
This unique combination enables both strategic planning and dynamic, event-driven decision-making, essential for sectors that span defence, urban development, disaster management, agriculture, energy, and climate resilience.
SPADE: Turning Satellite Data Into Mission-Ready Intelligence
At the heart of Suhora’s offering is the SPADE platform—a subscription-based SaaS solution that simplifies access to multi-sensor satellite data and transforms raw imagery into actionable intelligence. SPADE does the heavy lifting:
– Multi-sensor fusion: Integrates optical, multispectral, and other sensor modalities for robust, context-rich insights.
– AI-driven analytics: Detects change, classifies land use, tracks assets, and flags anomalies with operational reliability.
– Rapid, scalable delivery: Designed for high-frequency updates, SPADE serves insights with minimal latency—ideal for fast-moving scenarios.
By aligning SPADE’s analytics engine with Satellogic’s cost-effective, high-capacity imaging, Suhora delivers a powerful proposition: affordable, mission-ready, and locally relevant geospatial intelligence at scale.
